they might be considered wholly elected -- it might help. the senate could limit the number of days and make goals public. they can provide for an automatic discharge from the committee of nominations after 60 days or 90 days or something like that. in general, we should combine the forms for security clearance and financial disclosure. there is a committee working on it and we can reduce the intrusiveness of financial disclosure forms to limit some of the financial and post employment restrictions. we want careful vetting of these people and we want to have a lot of information, but sometimes it goes too far. moderating that can be a useful thing. in conclusion, the real problem is systemic. the single most important proposal is the reduction in the number of political appointees. that is what i and a number of other people have been saying for a number of years. this is not likely to happen anytime soon. the resistance is going to be great, president what loyalty, the senate wants control. it is really hard to do that. appointees that want

the election is behind us. whatever short-term advantage the majority may have felt it had by protecting its members from voting on almost everything is over. we don't need to have a perpetual election in the country. we have huge issues before us here at the end of the year, much of which will probably carry over into next year. it's a time that we ought to be building collegiality and relationships and not making incendiary moves that are damaging to the institution and could have serious ramifications on our ability to work together here at the end of the year. so i would encourage my friend, the majority leader, to think thoroughly through whether this is the direction he wants to take this body. i think it is a huge mistake. the american people sent us here to solve big problems and we ought to be concentrating on trying to bring everybody together behind an agreement -- hopefully it can be reached here before the end of the year -- to do really, really important work for the american people. mr. reid: mr.
